Because it increased. As in, like Rumbler butthurt here, he looks down upon this thread but constantly reads it for supporting cheap shots.
It's a peculiar behavior.
If you disagreed with me then you could express why you disagree. But you're hiding in the back for some reason.
Increased in what way? Haven't been doing anything I haven't done already in this forum. And what you said about Rumbler is no different than what you do in the politics thread. Not sure why you're projecting anger on everybody else out of nowhere, but it really seems like you're the one who's butthurt.
BTW, choosing to not engage in cyclical discussions that don't go anywhere in this thread is not hiding. If I find a discussion here where I want to throw my two cents in, I will. I'm not obligated to do so if I don't give a shit about whatever it is y'all are upset about this time.
Let me clarify this for you: I'm not angry. I'm curious about the behavior. If you didn't care then you wouldn't be here. However you are investing time and attention to the thread.
For example, I ignored the Politics thread for much of my time here. I don't like politics. I don't like political tribal squabbles. It all kind of makes me sick inside. However, the current moment in time poses some interesting things that gives me reason to show any interest in that thread.
So why do you have enough care to read the posts and like attack posts, but not the care to really participate. The one foot in, one foot out behavior is odd. This "its normal for me" explanation? I'm not buying it. Something is up your craw and it be better to just get it out. (And yes, this behavior has increased in frequency.)
